Black stools are not necessarily a cause of worry. But INTESTINAL gastric bleed have to be ruled out. Jet black tar like stools means bleed. Stool examination may be needed. And other tests may be needed. If bleed is suspected then ugi endoscopy may be needed.
Next Steps
visit a SURGEON/ gastroenterologist.
